| I hear some people didn't like this movie for certain reasons I don't get and I wanted to defend the movie and ask well, what's wrong with that? The characters are too perfect I never thought the characters were too nice, I liked how Jiro was a completely nice man who made some mistakes but wanted to owe up to them, I don't mind characters like that. Because it's good to owe up to mistakes but yes, everyone has their shadow sides. I don't see what's the problem with hanging out with a man like him. Yeah, he and Naoka could've had a few moments of negative behaviors that could've stood out, but I haven't seen it in 3 years so I don't remember if he has any negative traits from them. Not enough Drama The Wind Rises also has some funny and action moments in them, most funny and especially action movies don't have that much drama in them, say emotions or rudeness or whatever. It's still a sad movie with some conflict. Now, I don't know if the movie was accurate for its time period. It's too innocent Again, what is wrong with watching a sweet, happy, positive movie like this? What is wrong with watching a movie where the negative scenes don't last long? Such as Jiro helping some people who are being bullied? He seems like a pure peacemaker and it's different from most movies with bullying characters who get away with them. I think that this movie was written well, it's not one of Miyazaki's best but it's still pretty good. |

| Numbuh 3, you've got to get off the couch, you cannot sit in that tree house, girl you like Rainbow Monkeys so grab your little shit and then swing! Hand tracks be tracking me to different doorways. In a maze, and I don't know what to do. Guaranteed though, Ima find the emeralds. |
9jaotaku said: Just watched the movie a few days ago... Was a very nice and interesting movie...infact, I would HIGHLY recommend it to anyone. The artwork/animation was so good...to the point that it looked very very realistic...but then again, this is a Miyazaki...accept nothing less! As for the story, my peeves were 1.I think they should have focused on Nahoko a bit more. 2.Still on Nahoko, I don't think they focused more on her relationship with Jiro enough. 3. Nahoko's illness was used to make her look like the 'innocent ideal girl'...in my opinion, she was a one dimensional character who exists to support Jin. (Especially as an adult..child Nahoko looks more lively). 4.I think the Germans were portrayed in a way that made them look like punch clock villans...just sayin... 5.They skipped over WW2...now there is a good source of drama! Otherwise...good film. I agree with you. The two biggest things out of what you pointed out that stood out to me the most were: 1) Nahoko's purpose in the movie, and 2) The portrayal of the Germans. I feel, just like you, the Nahoko had more personality when she was younger. They could've given her more quirks and more of a character, as opposed to someone used to influence Jiro. When I read your observation on the Germans, I laughed a little bit. It is true, but I didn't realize it at the time of watching it. It's comedic, they almost seemed like your classic villains. The classic German stereotype - aggressive, loud, cruel, is something that I find a lot in films. I've never experienced that in real life, but I think it's interesting that it is partially in this film. |

Complex Stories are basically sleeping pills . Helps to get some sleep . |
| I think that Ghibli is overated but out of their catalog, this is one of my favorites. To me, the biggest issue I recall was the lack of tension. The movie was over 2 hours long, but it felt like there wasn't any real tension until towards the end, when his wife was dying. |
